Antelope Audio has announced that its Orion32 HD is now shipping. Orion32 HD is the third member of the Orion32 family and features full Pro Tools HD and Native compatibility, along with 64 channels of pristine audio quality in 192kHz via HDX or USB3, with real time monitoring.
Powered by Antelope's 64-bit Acoustically Focused Clocking (AFC) jitter-management technology, Orion32 HD supports multiple monitor mixes and is compatible with any DAW on the market. Further, both HD and USB3 ports are available for simultaneous use, enabling more than one DAW platform to be used and accessed at once.
Antelope's integration of its Field Gate Array (FPGA) based DSP processing engine means the unit is able to handle tracking and mixing through custom modeled vintage effects in real time. The unit is constructed in a black housing, taking up just a single rack space with and does not require a fan or machine room.
Ins and outs
With HDX, USB3, MADI, and ADAT, and S/PDIF connectivity and 32-in/32-out analog input via DB25, the Orion32 HD can support a wide variety of configurations in studios of all sizes. The Orion32 HD's versatile routing and mixing software console for Mac and Windows featuring both Antelope's classic color-coded routing matrix and an alternate matrix-style view to make routing easy and intuitive. It also features movable and resizable panels to help make the best use of your desktop real estate in multiscreen setups or when working on scoring or other applications that require quickly jumping between applications and windows.
Two Word Clock or Loopsync Outs allow the Orion to serve as the centerpiece of a recording setup, or take a sound further by using the Orion's 10M/10MX Clock Inputs to connect Antelope Audio's 10M or 10MX atomic clocks. The Orion32 HD also features mastering-grade monitor output borrowed from Antelope's Pure2 Mastering Converter to ensure signal integrity in the analog domain. The Orion32 HD also can be a match with Antelope's MP32 microphone preamp and Satori monitoring controller.
